here is the one im looking at

They are non-turbo.

and i know many of the Nasioc members have them going 200k miles.

im sure its reliable as long as the maintanence was kept up. Thats all i know.

 

i called the people and they siad it needs a timing belt. how hard is this to change on a suby

 

If they say it NEEDS a timing belt, I'd be wary.

edit: After seeing the (bright-blue, backwards) shiftknob and the Sparco harnesses (and the way they're mounted,) I'd be even more wary.

Maybe even scared.

 

how about the line that is at the bottom:
"We are not responsible for typo's in price."

If they aren't responsible for something in their control you know dam well and sure that it comes with a tail light warrenty.

 

You sholdn't have a problem swapping any wrx motor in it. Some of the jdm motors are cheap and make alot more power than usdm motors.

 

what would it cost to do a sti swap how much money

 

Quite a bit.

 

i assume you mean the present USDM EJ25...

i was looking at something similar about a year ago, and a friend of mine found a deal(EJ25, brakes, axles, rear diff, the MT6 and a few other odds and ends to make everything work out) all for 5K. I had to pick it up in DC though.

i've seen the tranny's alone w/ DCCD between 5 to 8K

 

oo ok thats alot but i doubt very many have done the swap something unique. are suburas good dependable cars im seriously looking at a gt legacy not the blue one but another one. i just dont wanna sell my honda to get a legacy and regret it bc its not reliable or bc it is a shitty car. what kinda numbers can i expect with a stock gt and then some with ecu and little shit dp exhuast cai stuff like that
